Somapacitan-Induced Reversible Lipoatrophy in an Adult Woman With Hypopituitarism [PDF]
Abstract Background Lipoatrophy is rare adverse event (AE) in daily recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Data on lipoatrophy in newly developed long-acting GH (LAGH) are scarce. We report the first case of lipoatrophy in adult patient treated with LAGH somapacitan. Case presentation

Identification of Binding Sites on Human Serum Albumin for Somapacitan, a Long-Acting Growth Hormone Derivative [PDF]
Abstract Somapacitan, a human growth hormone derivative that binds reversibly to albumin, was investigated for human serum albumin (HSA) and HSA domain binding. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) binding profiles showed high-affinity binding (∼100–1000 nM) of one somapacitan molecule and low-affinity binding (∼1000–10000 nM) of ...

Dose–exposure–IGF-I response of once-weekly somapacitan in adults with GH deficiency
Abstract Objective Growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in patients with adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is individually titrated due to variable dose–responses among patients. The aim of this study was to provide clinical guidance on dosing and titration of the novel long-acting GH ...
